The month got off to a rocky start on my end, but a lot more stability and routine are now becoming permanent features in my life, making this month so much better than the last.
Progress So Far
- Current Weight: 34st 4lbs / 217.7kg / 480lbs
- Total Lost So Far: 3st 6lbs / 21.8kg / 48lbs
Wins
- I lost twice as much weight in two weeks as I had from when I started the blog up until the beginning of this month.
- I’ve been much more consistent sticking to my packs — not perfect, but definitely better.
- I managed to get a seatbelt on in a car for the first time in I don’t know how long! That one made me tear up a bit.
Challenges
- Shopping (even online) is still hard. I still get the urge to buy what I want instead of what I need, which can lead to an off-plan day.
- Even with more energy, I still haven’t built up the courage or stamina for real exercise yet.
- I’ve yet to venture outside beyond doctor visits — a mix of fear, exhaustion, and self-consciousness about judgment from others.
Adjustments for the Rest of the Month
- Climb the stairs all in one go. I’ve gotten into the habit of resting on the last two steps — time to break it!
- Drink more. I’m rarely hitting my 2-litre goal, so I’ll start using a water bottle to track my intake better.
Closing Thoughts
Honestly, I’m doing fantastic — not perfect, but progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about continuing.
There were so many points this month where I could have given up — on my health plan, this blog, even on myself. But writing here gives me accountability and purpose, and even if no one ever reads this, it’s still helping me move forward.
So if you are reading this — thank you. Even silently cheering me on from the other side of the screen means more than you know.
The month isn’t over yet, and my next mini goal is to see that 33-stone number before November rolls around.
So here’s my note to future me: You’ve got this, Amy. You’re finally seeing results — so keep going! 🌻
